sweet. 15 signed in. 3 to go.

Seattle6418 - Knicks
borghe - bulls

if Seattle can sign in tonight, I'll sign in for borghe (bulls) and someone else can sign for the 18th team which will be a cpu if frankman gets too chicken shit to join our league. We can at least activate league where we can play scrimmage under league settings and send/recieve trades.

final team list.

I signed in earlier.

Can you guys see me in the page?

I saw all the names there. Only two people left to sign.

One thing has been bothering me about this game. Everything feels slugish and slow online. I´m playing from Brazil, so i know my ping is always bad, but seriously, guarding the ball is almost impossible to me. By the time i tried to react to what was showing up on the screen, i had already given up a wide open J.

I´m sure thauoftkidd noticed while we played, and i´m sure something is wrong. So when you are playing against me, consider this, "the garden mystique". I had hopes international play would be fine this time, but no good. I keep trying to get ranked games, and sometimes i spent five minutes trying to get a game and nothing. Also my records don´t show up online (would be 1-6 or something).

Any tips to compensate for the lag?

See you guys tomorrow on the court. I´ll add names and try to get at least two games played. (we can do that right?).

The game online feels really floaty and weird for me too, and I'm pretty bad as hell at guarding normally, and way worse online.

there has always been latency playing on 2k servers. its just a matter of adjusting your button timing. basically my advice is dont react to every movement. learn to move the move stick only when the ballhandler actually takes a couple of steps or more. if you are close enough, you will glue yourself to the ballhandler with various collision animations. Anticipation is also huge this time around.
When it comes to shooting, its basically just releasing the shot earlier.
Plus as you play league games, you'll notice the overall player speed will be a bit lower (minus 2 from sim sliders to be exact).

so anyways, two signups left. borghe and team 18. i'll sign in for borghe with my second account. does anyone else have a second account they can sign in with the 18th and final team?
 
alright, just got word from Diddy that Borghe is signing in tonight.
League launches tonight, bitches.

BTW here's the questionnaire, everyone has to fill out after every single game.
shouldn't take you no more than a minute to fill out.
want my $50? play fair and vote fair!
Sportsmanship Award Questionnaire

Rules will be finalized tonight as well. i'll post all of it once league is launched.

ps- i still didn't receive paypal buy-ins from a few of you. let me know if you're still in or out.
current Amount recieved: $160 US
 
The league site is showing 18 users but it says the schedule hasn't been generated yet. Also, for some reason, the Gaming conference has 10 teams, and the Off-topic conference has 8. Does that mean that everyone in the OT get in the playoffs by default?

I just lost.....to the Nets....Not the best idea not to practice online with your team. Going from no lag Jordan challenge to online with Blazers is a drop off. No excuses though, despite that I played like shit and Pete deserved the win gg.

correct. if you miss a game, 2k randomizes all missed game that week before we move on to the following week. If you're MIA and your opponent has been trying to get a hold of you (aka if you borghe your opponent), i'll happily assign you the loss.
read the rules on on game forfeiting, especially in red.
Btw, i have you this week. let's play tomorrow after six.

Played the Celtics last night. Thought things were going good, at one point i was up 24-18, but then i got struck by Ray Allen, and things went bad.

It was better than some of my other online experiences, i feel like i´m getting the timing better.

The Knicks are a weird team, i ended up using a lot of screens to try to get some spacing, but the offense seems out of sync. Azabuike laid an egg, and so did a few others. Only Amare and Failton had decent games.

I changed coach settings trying to push the tempo, but got zero fastbreak points. (i hate the ongoing glitch of players jumping and stopping to receive passes on fastbreaks. I can´t believe in 11 years in 2K still hasn´t figure it out how to fix this shit).

Also, my players got lost on screens and there´s a slight delay once you switch to guard the ball handler. It´s like he has the first step on you already. I need to make adjustments there.

One more thing: scores are way too low on 9 minutes. My game ended up 49-61.

----------

Hey folks, i´ll be on a business trip from friday thru sunday, so i need to get my games done tonight and tomorrow. I´ll be home and online from 5pm EST, 2pm PST. (7pm on my local time).

Let me know if the ping on my games is getting in the way of the games. (i´m playing from Brazil, so i believe games with me will be a tad different).
 
I just realized, after seeing some other box scores, that some games are being played on 9 minute quarters, instead of 10.

What could be causing that?

I thought the league settings were saved and we didn´t need to change it... so apparently we have to set options before each challenge? I´m a little confused.
